Relaxing Swedish Body Massage

Swedish massage uses a combination of long gliding strokes, gentle kneading and rhythmic techniques applied across the full body. The approach promotes deep muscular relaxation, improves circulation, and encourages the release of physical and mental tension accumulated through daily life.

Sessions are available in three durations to suit your schedule and goals. The 90-minute session provides the most comprehensive full-body coverage and is recommended for clients who carry significant tension or want a genuinely restorative experience. The 60-minute session covers the full body efficiently. The 30-minute session is ideal as a targeted or add-on treatment.

A focused session ideal for a quick reset or as an add-on to another treatment. Targets back, shoulders and neck or another area of priority. Best for clients with limited time or specific tension in one area.

Book 30 min -- $139

Book 60 min -- $220

Sothys Body Ritual

Sothys Signature · 90 min

Hanakasumi Body Ritual

$321 Approx. 90 minutes

The Hanakasumi is a Sothys signature body ritual of Japanese inspiration -- a full sensory experience combining professional exfoliation, full-body massage and reflexology foot work in a single extended treatment.

The ritual begins with a full-body enzymatic peel using exfoliating gloves, gently removing dull skin cells and preparing the skin for deep absorption. A relaxing full-body massage follows using Sothys formulations infused with the delicate scent of cherry blossom and lotus -- nourishing, softening and deeply settling. The treatment concludes with a specific reflexology foot massage to complete the experience.

The Hanakasumi leaves skin genuinely transformed -- softened, nourished and subtly perfumed -- and is one of the most complete body treatment experiences we offer at Facial Impressions.

Common questions

For a first visit or a general full-body session, 60 minutes is the most popular option -- enough time to properly cover all major areas. The 90-minute session is ideal if you carry significant tension, want deeper work, or simply prefer a more indulgent experience. The 30-minute session suits a quick targeted treatment or works well added on to another booking.
Yes. Body exfoliation pairs well as a preparation for massage or the Aroma Nourishing treatment. A Backcial can be combined with a facial appointment. The Hanakasumi is a complete standalone experience. Call us on 02 9918 7288 to discuss combination bookings and we will help you plan the best use of your time.
A Backcial is a facial treatment applied to the back -- the same clinical approach used for facial skin, addressing congestion, breakouts and rough texture. It is particularly suited to clients who experience back acne or breakouts, or anyone preparing for an event where the back will be on show. Optional LED or high-frequency add-ons can be discussed at your appointment.
The Hanakasumi is a Sothys signature body ritual of Japanese inspiration -- not simply a massage. It combines a full enzymatic body peel, a full-body Sothys massage and a reflexology foot sequence in a single extended treatment. The skin is exfoliated, deeply nourished with Sothys formulations, and the treatment ends with specific foot work. It is designed to be a complete restorative experience rather than a targeted muscle treatment.
